Thai-Cambodian tensions simmer over ownership of land on which Preah Vihar temple sits [Reuters]Al Jazeera
Cambodia and Thailand have sent riot police to a disputed border area in advance of a weekend rally by Thai protesters.
They plan to hold a demonstration over the Preah Vihear temple near the land that is claimed by both countries.
Cambodia says it will attack anyone who crosses into its territory.Tensions over the temple's ownership heated up last year when the UN cultural agency approved Cambodia's bid to have Preah Vihear named a World Heritage Site.
The move sparked isolated clashes between the two countries' border guards.
